EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Liszt Collection, we are transported back in time to witness a scene filled with mythical creatures and ancient charm. The image showcases two satyrs diligently placing Silenus atop a braying mule, while a third satyr observes their work with curiosity. The intricate details of this engraving, attributed to Marco Dente, an Italian artist active during the early 16th century, bring these fantastical beings to life. Each stroke of the engraver's tool captures the essence of these mischievous half-human, half-goat creatures as they engage in their peculiar task. Silenus, known for his association with wine and revelry in Greek mythology, appears slightly disoriented on top of the mule. His expression seems both bewildered and amused by his precarious position. Meanwhile, the two satyrs below exhibit great strength and coordination as they carefully secure him onto the animal's back. The composition is framed within a trimmed sheet that measures approximately 4 5/16 x 6 7/8 inches (109 x 175 cm), allowing us to focus solely on this intriguing moment frozen in time. The print evokes a sense of wonderment as we contemplate the mythical world depicted before us. This remarkable artwork by Artokoloro invites us to delve into ancient folklore and explore our fascination with mythological creatures. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, these timeless tales continue to captivate our imagination and inspire artistic creations that
